Notebook Lyrics

She had her eyes on the payphone

And feet rest flat on the Florida shore

In all the movement that a wave has

Her fingers guided her shaking hands

But the hook was full and crooked

And the bait didn't bleed or shine anymore

Because my mouth has broken hinges

And an always open door

I had it written in a notebook

I had it written in a notebook somewhere

Every little detail

Every little detail about the day

I had it written in a notebook

I had it written in a notebook somewhere

And the ink got old and bleed

And the pages all yellowed away

Daytona come back to me

Your beach spits a melody

So so sweet

Well, the air grew thick and blue

Until it drowned out both my lungs and I

Felt the long film strip of time

Get caught on a blank rewind

Florida pried my retinas open and whitewashed out my eyes

There is a clarity of blueprints now

As I sunk through a few state lines

I had it written in a notebook

I had it written in a notebook somewhere

Every little detail

Every little detail about the day

I had it written in a notebook

I had it written in a notebook somewhere

And the ink got old and bleed

And the pages all yellowed away

Scatter brained

A blinding heavy synapse rain

Forever frayed like blood-stained wood grain

The secretary on the phone

The doctor left him all alone

Two hands hardly attached to me

They start their own open palm search party

Blank ink white page

Blinded by a blue oval rage

My fingers laid and frayed her frame forever frayed like bloodstained wood grain

Every day and every night it rains

I can't sleep I can't sleep the same

Bloody bait and a shining lure

Broken hinges and an always open door

I had it written in a notebook

I had it written in a notebook somewhere

Every little detail

Every little detail about the day

I had it written in a notebook

I had it written in a notebook somewhere

And the ink got old and bleed

And the pages all yellowed away
